Gothenburg boys earn title at Broken Bow CC Invite

BROKEN BOW—Saturday’s cross country competition at Broken Bow proved a valuable point for the Gothenburg boys: every runner in every place counts.

The Swedes defeated Ogallala by only one point, 37-38, to take the team title.

“Beating just one runner from the team you’re competing against can make all the difference in the end,” said coach Steve Reeves. “It was a fantastic effort on the boys’ part.”

Three Gothenburg boys earned medals. Luke Rehmert finished fourth with Andrew Collins five-tenths of a second back in fifth and Brett Dockweiler in 12th. Bryce Eggleston was just outside a medal in 16th.

“It was tight the whole time,” Reeves said of Eggleston’s battle against Patrick Wright of Broken Bow and Spencer Ewert of Ogallala. “Bryce ran very strategically to beat them.”

Reeves predicts it will be a slug-fest between Gothenburg, Ogallala and Broken Bow all season and all three are in the C-4 district.

Ogallala’s Sam Adams won the individual title.

The Gothenburg girls were short-handed for this meet, competing with only four runners.

“That’s what we needed to score but we like to have more,” Reeves said.

The Swedes finished in 10th place while McCook took the girls title.

“This was extremely talented competition,” Reeves said.

None of the Swede girls finished with medals and yet they saw improved times from the previous week.

“We will continue to get better,” Reeves said.

Jessa Sughroue fo McCook won the individual title.

Gothenburg travels to Fillmore Central for a meet on Thursday. Start time is 5 p.m.
